This past week, Pitt hired David Cox as its new director of basketball operations. Cox comes to Pitt from Washington, D.C., where he was an assistant principal at St. John's College and head coach of the D.C. Assault AAU team.

The Panthers have offered five-star point guard Chris Wright, a standout on the Assault team.

Wright said that Pitt and Seton Hall are his two most recent offers. Wright previously held offers from DePaul, Georgetown, Maryland, N.C. State, Pitt, Villanova, Virginia and Wake Forest.
